Press TV interview with Kevin Barrett, Veterans Today Editor BS is so narcissistic he orders the kidnapping, torture, and murder of people who aren’t even serious dissidents, much less an actionable threat. He’s digging his own grave. -KB American officials who have read the classified intelligence reports related to Saudi crown prince say Mohammed bin Salman authorized a secret campaign to silence dissidents. The officials say the campaign started more than a year before the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi and it included kidnapping and torture of Saudi citizens. According to the officials, at least a dozen clandestine missions were carried…

Press TV interview with Kevin Barrett, Veterans Today Editor A UN-led probe into Jamal Khashoggi’s murder has concluded that the Saudi dissident was the victim of a “brutal and premeditated killing” planned and perpetrated by the kingdom’s officials. Agnes Callamard, UN special rapporteur for extrajudicial summary or arbitrary executions, said in Geneva Thursday that Saudi officials had “seriously undermined” and delayed Turkey’s efforts to investigate the crime scene at the kingdom’s consulate in Istanbul in October last year. Callamard noted that they had access only to a part of “chilling and gruesome audio material” of the dissident journalist’s death, obtained by the Turkish intelligence agency. Elsewhere in…

The morning after the Super Bore, South African station Radio Islam International called me to ask about football. But not the Patriots-Rams snorefest! Instead, they wanted an opinion on the Bahraini regime’s attempt to recapture and re-torture footballer (soccer player) Hakeem al-Araibi. His crime: speaking out against the regime back in 2011.

Riyadh, “Saudi” Arabia Dissociated Press In a major breakthrough for women’s rights in the desert kingdom, Clown Prince Bin Salman (BS) has issued an edict proclaiming that henceforth women will have full and equal rights to be beheaded. “There is no place in a modern, air-conditioned country like ours for archaic relics of the medieval past,” BS announced at a press conference beside the gallows in Chop-Chop Square in downtown Riyadh. “For too long we have discriminated against peaceful female dissidents. Are not their heads worth every bit as much as those of their male counterparts? Beginning today, a woman…

Listen HERE Soren Korsgaard, editor of the peer-reviewed criminology journal Radians and Inches: The Journal of Crime, discusses the crimes of the American criminal justice system, which systematically uses torture and slavery in pursuit of maximum profit for billionaires—who are far worse criminals than anyone who gets prosecuted, incarcerated, enslaved, and tortured. If there really were a “responsibility to protect” (R2P) the international community would need to bomb the USA back to the Stone Age, invade us, and liberate the millions (a great many of them innocent) enslaved and tortured in America’s privatized for-profit prisons—then arrest, prosecute, and sentence those responsible…
